Nursing: HESI Admission Assessment Prep Guide

Western students can access to a database called Learning Express Library (linked below) that has a variety of practice tests available to help you  prepare for and review the various academic subject areas assessed on the HESI Admission Assessment. These can be taken multiple times, if you want. This resource is most useful for preparing for the Math and Reading sections.
